INDIA: Gender Equality Diagnostic of Selected Sectors

Asian Development Bank (adb)

No RPT124944, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: Concerns about persisting gender-based exclusion from the benefits of development have encouraged the Government of India and its partner institutions and donor agencies to mainstream gender in its policies, programs, and projects. This publication provides a gender analysis of six priority sectors—agriculture, energy, education, finance and public sector management, transport, and urban development—and suggests possible further actions to strengthen ADB approaches in these sectors. It is expected to provide the basis for increased attention to gender issues and opportunities in developing the India partnership strategy for 2013–2017.
